【题目】 There are hundreds of grape varieties in Japan, but only one can sell for several hundred dollars per grape. The Ruby Roman was cultivated in Japan’ s Ishikawa Prefecture and is considered one of the world’ s most expensive fruits.

The story of Ruby Roman began in 1995, when Ishikawa grape farmers appealed to the government to create a large red grape variety. 400 experimental vines(葡萄树)were planted into a test field. Two years later; they started bearing fruit. However, out of the 400 vines, only 4 turned out to be red grapes, and only one of them was considered large enough to meet the farmers’ expectations. Over the next 14 years, researchers constantly improved its size, taste, color and ease of planting, and today Ruby Roman is considered a “treasure of Ishikawa”.

In 2008, soon after making its commercial debut(首秀), the Ruby Roman grape variety made international headlines after a 700-gram bunch sold for 10,000 yen$910, or $26 per grape. Eight years later, a 26-grape bunch sold for 1.1 million yen$11,000, or roughly $370 per grape.

While the Ruby Roman name is used to describe a type of grapes, every bunch must meet very strict standards. For example, every grape in the bunch must weigh at least 20 grams and have a sugar content of at least 18 percent. There is also a Premium class of Ruby Roman grapes—each grape must weigh over 30 grams, and the whole bunch must be at least 700 grams heavy.

Most bunches of Ruby Roman grapes are sold through auctions(拍卖), but Premium Ruby Rose are extremely difficult to find. For example, in 2010, only six bunches of grapes were certified Premium, and in 2011 no bunches qualified for it.

And if you’ re wondering how the Ruby Roman name came to be, it was apparently voted by local residents(居民)out of 639 different names.

1The underlined word“cultivated”in the first paragraph can be best replaced by”_________”.

A.discoveredB.preserved

C.developedD.promoted

2According to the second paragraph, Ruby Roman _________.

A.is widely planted in JapanB.does not come easily

C.used to be a treasure of IshikawaD.is more productive than expected

3What’s the author’s purpose in listing a number of figures in paragraph 3 ?

A.To explain how large Ruby Roman grapes are.

B.To tell how profitable planting Ruby Roman is.

C.To prove how popular Ruby Roman is globally.

D.To show how expensive Ruby Roman grapes are.

4What does the text say about the Ruby Roman grape?

A.It’s named after its birthplace.

B.It isn’t available in abundance.

C.It doesn’t refer to only one grape variety.

D.Its price has nothing to do with its color.

【题目】 I was a newcomer in a class. So was Alice. That's where the similarities ended. I was tall and she was small. My thick, black hair had been recently cut short. Her natural blonde hair flowed to her waist and looked great. I was awkward and shy. She wasn't. I couldn't stand her. I considered her my enemy. She liked me. She wanted to be friends.

One day, she invited me over and I said yes — I was too shocked to answer any other way. No one had invited me over to play. But this girl who wore the latest fashions wanted me to go home with her after school. I got very surprised when she led me into an apartment building. She lived on the fourth floor in a two-room place with her mother, her stepfather, her two brothers and her sister. When we got to the room she shared with her sister, she took out a big case of Barbies — which was my next surprise. I would have thought she'd outgrown them. I had never played with them. But we sat on the floor of a walk-in closet, laughing as we made up crazy stories about the Barbies. That's when we found out that we both wanted to be writers when we were older and we both had wild imaginations. We had a great day that afternoon. Our jaws ached from smiling so much. She showed me her wardrobe, which had mostly come from a designer clothing store down the block. The woman who owned it used her as a model sometimes for her newspaper ads and gave her clothes in exchange.

Alice had the whole neighborhood charmed. The bookstore owners lent her fashion magazines, the movie theater gave her free passes and the pizza place let her have free slices. Soon I was included in her magic world. We slept over at each other's houses, and spent every free moment together. My dark hair grew out and I learned to love being tall.

Alice, my first real friend since childhood, taught me an amazing and very surprising thing about making friends: that your worst enemy can turn out to be your best friend.

1What made the similarities end?

A.Leaving the author's old school.

B.Being admitted to their new classes.

C.Their differences in appearance and personalities.

D.Their different demands of friendship and fashion.

2What did the author think of the Barbies?

A.Alice was too mature for them.

B.Alice must have made them by herself.

C.They should have been kept well.

D.They brought her back to her childhood.

3We can infer from the passage that Alice ________.

A.helped the author see her own strengths

B.was good with the people around her

C.helped to bring out the best in the author

D.inspired the authors love for fashion

4Which of the following best describes Alice as a friend?

A.Humorous.B.Ambitious.

C.Caring.D.Friendly.
